Images have surfaced for the 2 LEGO Ninjago 2014 summer sets which includes the Z-1 Ninja Charger and Battle for Ninjago City. Now we have already seen these (see videos below), and though I wish we had more coming for LEGO Ninjago this summer, these 2 sets are fantastic!
BrickShop.nl has listed 6 new LEGO Minecraft sets. Interestingly, many are speculating that these are the highly anticipated minifigure scale sets that LEGO has said is coming later this year. The names and price points lead us to believe that these are those minifigure scale sets and not more microscale sets. Here are those names:

Series 2 of the popular Minecraft action figure packs have begun to show up in Toys ‘R Us stores. Having reviewed both of these packs, I can say fans will be excited to add these to their collections. Series 1 gave us alot of the more basic characters and blocks from Minecraft, but Series 2 branches out even more giving us the many characters and animals we have been wishing for! The Animal Mobs pack retails for $24.99 and Steve in Diamond Armor for $11.99.
In this episode of Minifigure Madness we look at the LEGO 2012 Hulks vs. the 2014 Hulk. The 2012 Hulk minifigure was released in the Hulk’s Helicarrier Breakout set, from The Avengers movie.

Then we also take a look at the 2012 exclusive minifig size Hulk which was a promotional figure given out at LEGO brand stores in May 2012. Vote below on which one you like better:
This is going to be a pretty interactive post, as we are going to do 5 Brick Battles pitting the 2013 TMNT sets against the recently released 2014 TMNT sets. Upon the release of the 2014 sets we noticed how similar the 2014 wave of TMNT sets were to their 2013 counterparts. Below you will find pictures and polls for each of the battles. Cast your vote and then tell us in the comments why you voted the way that you did.

After visiting my local LEGO Store today to take advantage of the double VIP points, I discovered that the LEGO Super Star Destroyer is retiring. They did still have a few in stock (although 1 less than they had when I got there). Now, if you have your eye on this set, get to your store NOW! Retail price is $400 and once your local LEGO store is out, that will be it. We anticipate that this set will reach $1000 on eBay within a year. Amazon does still have many of these in stock at retail price, but those may not last long either now that we’ve let the cat out of the bag.

The LEGO Minecraft Facebook page posted this teaser picture this morning for the coming minifigure scale line. It depicts Steve mining a chocolate egg to find a golden creeper! With the popularity of the LEGO Minecraft sets already released and the similarity between the digital worlds of Minecraft and the physical world of LEGO, it only makes sense to give us all more LEGO Minecraft!
